Dr Oz

Oz will face Pennsylvania's Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is recovering from a stroke, in November.

- The race was largely seen as a test forTrump's grasp on the Republican party. The GOP primary battle became a fight over mail-in voting, too. The Trump-backed Oz will face Pennsylvania's Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, who is recovering from a stroke, in November. Senate Democrats' campaign arm isn’t waiting for a recount in the Republican primary between Dave McCormick and Mehmet Oz. It’s launching a general election campaign now — against both — officials tell Axios. The big picture: A recount of the results in the Senate Republican primary were underway as McCormick conceded. Businessman Dave McCormick officially conceded to Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania's Republican primary, making Oz the official GOP nominee to run for the state's open U.S. Senate seat.

With a statewide recount still underway, Mr. McCormick stepped aside to Dr. Mehmet Oz, who will be the Republican nominee in one of this year's most pivotal ...

Though “The Dr. Oz Show” has been criticized for a long history of offering viewers dubious medical advice, Mr. Trump was politically on-target about the electoral importance of women, especially in the suburbs. Dr. Oz was also criticized as a carpetbagger who had moved to Pennsylvania to run for office. Dr. Oz is a professor emeritus of surgery at Columbia University, but he called for the firing of Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert. This year’s races could tip the balance of power in Congress to Republicans, hobbling President Biden’s agenda for the second half of his term. At a rally Mr. Trump held in Pennsylvania 11 days before Election Day, boos greeted the mention of Dr. Oz’s name. Suspense around the race for weeks deflected attention from Mr. Fetterman, who suffered a stroke May 13, days before the election, leading to a hospital stay and the implantation of a pacemaker and defibrillator in his heart. In part that was because of Dr. Oz’s history of espousing liberal views, notably on abortion and transgender issues, which made him toxic to some conservatives. The November election holds high stakes for both parties: Pennsylvania is probably Democrats’ best chance to add a seat to their fragile 50-50 control of the Senate, in which Vice President Kamala Harris holds the tiebreaking vote. Dr. Oz, the longtime host of “The Dr. Oz Show” on daytime television, mostly ignored the advice. Ramesh R. Chandra, the cardiologist, said if Mr. Fetterman follows his instructions and takes his health seriously this time, “he should be able to campaign and serve in the U.S. Senate without a problem.” His cardiologist made public a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, which makes it harder for the heart’s muscles to pump. “But it’s now clear to me that with the recount largely complete, that we have a nominee.

The Final Result Of Dr. Oz's Bid For The Republican Nomination In The Race For A PA Senate Seat Was Expected To Take Weeks.

Out of 1.1 million Republican votes cast in the primary, Oz and McCormick remain separated by just 1477 votes, per Fox News. To Trump he said, “I’ll make you proud.” If a recount is happens, the final numbers be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of State on June 8, the Washington Post reported. Support of that false narrative has been a litmus test for many Trump supporters. “When Sean punches, he punches through walls.” He likely didn’t change any of those Pennsylvanians’ minds when he refused last week to say the 2020 election was rigged. Pennsylvania law mandates an automatic recount if a margin of victory is 0.5% or less. Both campaigns have apparently brought on campaign strategists that former President Donald Trump used to spearhead his unsuccessful 2020 recount efforts. Oz is a longtime resident of New Jersey, but according to the Associated Press, he registered to his in-law’s address in the Philadelphia suburbs to vote by absentee last year, which qualified him to run the in the state this year. Oz and former hedge fund executive Dave McCormick are the two front runners in the race, which continues to be too close to call, with McCormick clocking in at 31.2% of the vote and Oz at 31.1% as of 9 p.m. PT, according to the Washington Post. Under Pennsylvania law, any vote margin under 0.5% automatically triggers a recount.
